A Chocolate Chip Celebration

The chocolate chip cookie has been an American favorite since its serendipitous invention in 1937, when Ruth Graves Wakefield of the Toll House Inn--ring a bell, anyone?--added pieces of a chopped chocolate bar to her cookies. In honor of National Chocolate Chip Day, we present you with some of our favorite recipes inspired by Ruth's fabulous invention and delicious tiny morsel, the chocolate chip.
